Shoppers fled Ontario Mills Mall in Southern California after reports of gunfire on Friday evening, captured in videos shared by a local shopkeeper. Police said no one was hurt, the scene was contained and a juvenile suspect was in custody, with no threat to the wider community.

Police responded at about 7.07pm to a report of shots near Dave & Buster’s and Burlington. The mall was later described as inactive, with no one outstanding, and was due to resume normal business.
